Publication number: 20240121943Abstract: Some embodiments include an integrated assembly having first conductive structures extending along a first direction. Spaced-apart upwardly-opening container-shapes are over the first conductive structures. Each of the container-shapes has a first sidewall region, a second sidewall region, and a bottom region extending from the first sidewall region to the second sidewall region. Each of the first and second sidewall regions includes a lower source/drain region, an upper source/drain region, and a channel region between the upper and lower source/drain regions. The lower source/drain regions are electrically coupled with the first conductive structures. Second conductive structures extend along a second direction which crosses the first direction. The second conductive structures have gate regions operatively adjacent the channel regions. Storage elements are electrically coupled with the upper source/drain regions. Some embodiments include methods of forming integrated assemblies.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: David K. Hwang, Richard J. Hill, Gurtej S. Sandhu

Patent number: 11941600Abstract: In a method for advanced identification of a customer, a customer may remotely place an order, intending to later go to a store to pick up the ordered item. The store may have a pick-up area (e.g., at the back of the store) where the customer can go to pick up the ordered item. To save the customer time, the customer may be identified when she enters the store so that an employee can obtain her ordered item and have it ready to pick up by the time the customer walks through the store and arrives at the pick-up area.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2023Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: WALGREEN CO.Inventors: Nimesh S. Jhaveri, Archana Dhruve, Heather K. Hill, Dejan Kozic, Laura Jean Tebbe, Susan G. Heald, Warit Tulyathorn, Mark A. Jones, Sara B. Frisk, Jennifer M. Levin, Jennifer A. Comiskey, David T. Blanchard

Publication number: 20210037794Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide disposable containers for feeding animals and systems, methods, and apparatuses related thereto. In one implementation, an animal feeder for use in dispensing animal food to birds or other suitable animals includes one or more reservoirs having one or more walls that allow a user to create one or more openings in the walls. The one or more reservoirs may be set on a tray to orient each reservoir to allow birds or other suitable animals to feed from the openings in each reservoir. The reservoirs are disposable and replaceable to provide a re-useable system for feeding birds.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2020Publication date: February 11, 2021Applicant: Classic Brands, LLCInventor: David S. Hill

Patent number: 10813343Abstract: An animal feeder for use in dispensing a feeding solution to birds or other suitable animals. This may be accomplished by providing an animal feeder having a reservoir containing a feeding solution. The reservoir has walls that do not have a pre-formed opening. The walls are made from a material being sufficiently pliable to allow a user to perforate the walls to form one or more openings in the walls. One or more reservoirs may be set on a tray to orient each reservoir to allow birds or other suitable animals to feed from the openings in each reservoir. The reservoirs are disposable and replaceable to provide a re-useable system for feeding birds.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2016Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: Classic Brands, LLCInventor: David S. Hill

Patent number: 9655345Abstract: An animal feeder for use in dispensing a feeding solution to hummingbirds or other animals. This may be accomplished by providing an animal feeder having a reservoir containing a feeding solution. The reservoir is connected to a dispenser that dispenses the feeding solution through an opening. The reservoir rotates in response to changes in the weight distribution of the feeder relative to the pivot as the reservoir is emptied of the feeding solution. The rotation of the reservoir maintains the opening in the dispensing member above the level of the feed solution in the reservoir. The reservoir has venting holes to maintain equalize pressure within the reservoir with the outside environment.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2015Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Inventor: David S. Hill

Patent number: 9192148Abstract: A feeding apparatus for use in dispensing feed formula to hummingbirds or other animals. The apparatus comprises a reservoir containing a ready-to-consume and preservative free feed solution for birds. The walls of the reservoir are made of a metal layer and a paper or plastic layer to provide a barrier to light, oxygen, and flavor to maintain the feed solution in a substantially sealed environment.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2014Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Inventor: David S. Hill

Patent number: 8893659Abstract: A feeding apparatus for use in dispensing feed formula to hummingbirds or other animals. This may be accomplished by providing a feeder having a reservoir for holding ready to consume and preservative free nectar formula for hummingbirds. The feeder may have an opening that is configured to couple to a dispensing member for delivering the formula to hummingbirds. The feeder may be adapted to be supported by a support holding device or to be free-standing for maintaining the feeder in an orientation for dispensing formula.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2013Date of Patent: November 25, 2014Inventor: David S. Hill

Patent number: 8387567Abstract: A hummingbird feeding apparatus for use in providing feed formula to hummingbirds. This may be accomplished by providing a reservoir for holding ready to consume and preservative free nectar formula for hummingbirds. The reservoir may have an opening that is configured to couple to a dispensing member for delivering the formula to hummingbirds. The reservoir may have an attachment member on one end for placing the dispensing member in a hummingbird-accessible location.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2011Date of Patent: March 5, 2013Inventor: David S. Hill

Patent number: 5232113Abstract: A cap for substantially gas-tight sealing engagement with a container wall having an opening therein circumscribed by a sealing surface has an end wall and a depending skirt with a portion for securing the cap to the container wall. The cap is preferably composed of about 94.5 to 99.89 weight percent low density polyethylene and may have a polybutylene copolymer present in an amount of about 0.01 to 5.0 weight percent. A mold release agent may be employed. A tab for manual engagement to rotate the cap between a container wall sealing surface engaging position and a storage position may be provided. The cap has a vent region provided by a weakened zone that is preferably located on or near the tab. The cap is adapted once in gas-tight sealing engagement with the sealing surface of the container wall to vent automatically in the weakened zone upon predetermined internal container pressure being attained and to subsequently reseal automatically. A container in combination with such a cap is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 1991Date of Patent: August 3, 1993Assignee: Aluminum Company of AmericaInventors: Charlotte H.
